Phyllis’ relaxed teaching style focuses on the “personality” of Latin dances historically popular in rural communities. Her clear and simple styling tips are invaluable for achieving an authentic feel for Latin dance.

Beginners are welcome, and this also makes a great practice session for experienced dancers.

Become more confident dancing to the syncopated or “happy” rhythms that are a feature of all Latin dancing or “Danzon.” No partner is needed.

Call Elation Center for the Arts at 731-3117 for more information.
